Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh okra (young and tender preferred), sliced into rounds

4 cups water

1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup (adjust based on desired sweetness)

1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 tablespoon chia seeds

¼ cup fruit-flavored jelly (such as grape, raspberry, or strawberry)

Fresh mint leaves, for garnish

Ice cubes (optional, for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Okra Water:

    - In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the sliced okra with the water. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it begins to boil.

      - Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes. The water should become slightly thickened and take on a green hue.

        - After simmering, remove the saucepan from the heat. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a large bowl or pitcher, discarding the okra pieces. Allow the okra water to cool completely at room temperature or in the fridge.

          Add Sweetness:

            - Once the okra water has cooled, add the honey (or agave syrup) and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Whisk thoroughly until all sweeteners are completely dissolved and evenly incorporated.

              Prepare Chia Seeds:

                - In a small bowl, combine the chia seeds with 2 tablespoons of water. Allow the mixture to sit for 5-10 minutes, during which the seeds will absorb the water and become gelatinous.

                  Combine the Ingredients:

                    - In a large serving glass or pitcher, mix together the prepared okra water, swollen chia seeds, and fruit-flavored jelly. Gently stir with a spoon to create a marbled effect, being careful not to completely dissolve the jelly into the liquid.

                      Serve It Up:

                        - If desired, fill each serving glass with ice cubes. Pour the vibrant okra jelly fusion drink over the ice. Finish by garnishing each glass with a few fresh mint leaves to enhance the drink’s aroma and appearance.

                          Enjoy:

                            - Before taking a sip, give the drink a gentle stir to mix the flavors. Sip and enjoy this refreshing, health-packed fusion drink that delights with every mouthful!
